Relationships have always been important to me. As your OCD therapist, I will meet you where you are. I take an individualized approach to treatment. Challenging your thoughts can be a scary process, but you are more than capable of showing your thoughts who's the boss — you! By creating a trusting relationship, I'll ensure you're comfortable with tolerating discomfort. My other areas of focus include anxiety, depression, life transitions, child behavior, grief, and boundary issues. I've had my own anxiety and depression issues; it is so empowering to know these diagnoses can be managed.

Why our members love working with J'lessa
S.R.
I've been working with her for a few months now and have more success in therapy with her than I've ever had in my past experiences. I've been able to slowly understand many aspects of my life and why I've struggled with multiple different things. I've even recommended her to close friends.
